Thats odd how they didnt reprint boarding passes for everyone...if the BP was for a different seat shouldnt the barcode not even clear when walking onto the jetway?
Apprently you didn't fly UA enough to see what is that mean by upguage. It is not about .bomb problem, it is all about mechanical, or the plane stuck at somewhere due to weather. If they have a spare at the hangar, then they take it out. I have seen enough on ORD-SFO, from 2 class 777 to a 3 class 777, or from 3 class 777 to a 747, or either downguage from 3 class 777 to a 757.
